I went into the studio today and got some encouraging feedback. I added finishing touches to my pieces and thought about other stuff I could do. I am happy with my final pieces (I made two). Everyone else was drawing and the brief aims are drawing so I tried to give that a go. I actually hate drawing, I find I have to be in the right mood to produce anything that looks good. I guess that's why I don't enjoy it.
Also, there's all this stuff recently in exhibitions and lectures about focusing on 'craft'. But I think the concept and research behind the piece is more important than the craft. Although most of the time being skilled in the medium your using helps to communicate the concept so the two go hand in hand.
Either way, I prefer collaging and making to drawing. Just waiting for the crit now and feeling slightly nervous.
